I believe these delegates are still committed to Trump and Cruz on the first ballot but would be free after that to do what they want, or what they agreed to do to be put on the slate, with no loyalty to Trump or Cruz.

“Haugland has for years insisted that delegates to the national convention cannot be restricted from voting their conscience.”

I have voted for Congressmen and Senators who when asked about a their position on a specific issue stated they would vote their conscience, many of them don’t have a conscience, that’s just an easy way to put off a constituent, they will lie about how difficult the decision was later.

“Why don’t you just go to his campaign website and see what his positions are for yourself.”

Why? Does Trump’s campaign website differ from what he actually says? Do they have to update and change it or just deny what he says and ignore what he’s said in the past. Do they have a sane person write out what his positions are supposed to be without the name calling, petulance, childishness, bombast and buffoonery?

Yes, Cruz withdraw and that would leave Kasich, anti-Second Amendment, pro Obamacare, big government, common core, amnesty, muslim immigration and wants a democrat as a running mate. hillary ultra liberal progressive, open closet door socialist. bernie, the marxist socialist. Trump, big government populist democrat running as a republican. That would leave four presidential candidates with no Conservative or Constitutional credentials. The election and fight for America would be lost the instant Senator Cruz would suspend his campaign

“Pathetic response to a substantive concern. Amazed at the antichristian bigotry that exists on the right. I expect it from liberals.”

The Trump supporters are no longer on the right or conservative as this is no longer a conservative site. Trump is a big government democrat running as a populist under the label of a republican because he believes and has publicly stated that Republicans are stupid. Big government is apparently okay if administered by a bombastic buffoon who is likely mentally unstable and does have a severe personality disorder who also happens to be a reality TV star. Someone who is worth casting your Conservative principles and belief in the Constitution for.

“Good grief! Sheesh.
Yet you are totally fine with 0bama running the IRS, BATF, DOJ, EPA, etc.?
You are comfortable with 0bama II (Hillary) holding those same reins

NO, I’m not fine with obama in control of anything and I’m much less than comfortable with hillary being in control of anything. I believe Trump is vindictive and doesn’t give a rat’s ass about anyone’s rights I believe he would use these agencies to “get even” for real or imagined slights. Trump would be a disaster for America.

“Anderson Cooper has far, far more to lose here professionally.
President Trump will not readily provide him access for interviews.”

Yes, anyone who crossed or did not support Trump should have concern if Trump were to become President. We would have an extremely vindictive person as President who is possibly mentally unstable but has a severe personality disorder in charge of the IRS, BATF, DOJ, EPA, etc. Not being provided interviews could be the least of Anderson’s problems.
